Today, I tried to scare what I thought was a stray cat away from my friend's car in our work parking garage by hitting the panic button on his keys, which did, indeed, make the creature panic. That's when I learned it was not a cat. It was a skunk. FML

In the area I live and work it's very possible that a stray cat will be less than healthy. And as I own two cats I also don't want to carry fleas or ticks home to them. Also, and mostly this I think, I don't want to be attacked by a rabid animal- Adorable kitten or otherwise.

There's a question being asked trying to figure out whether cats or skunks are better at sex? Oh, Internet, you never fail to surprise.

We are not your brothers, nor are we angry. We are just annoyed at someone who's an ass hat.

How does a cat look like a skunk? I understand the long fur but really the long white line along the back and a small head? ydi

It was under his car, I heard scuffling... I made an assumption. A very very wrong assumption.

You need to have your nose checkup. Typically skunks stink up the air around them for up to 50 yds without spraying.

They really don't though. I jog in the mornings and see plenty of skunks, sometimes much closer than I'd like to see them. I never smell them unless a) they're road kill b) they get scared and spray.

Well, hey, at the very least, you didn't scare it away by approaching it.
